Looking to Vincenzo, Acclimatise and Logan Street Lion as likely leaders in a solid speed battle. The feature race on the card, the $150,000 Cairns Cup. SIR GRACE (7) has been on the doorstep of late finishing runner-up in the Townsville and Mackay Cups and doesn't face either of those winners in this line-up. Handles all going and can go one better against this lot. LOGAN STREET LION (1) has been right there in similar contests of late and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a major role in the outcome. The well-related Former Robl galloper SMART LEGEND (8) has shown improvement since joining the Massingham barn and another strong run would not surprise. STADIUM OF LIGHT (13) next in line from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sir Grace.
